The principles behind the Convoy battle type are based on real historical events. In the past, sea battles didn't only involve warships clashing and aerial assaults. A significant aspect of naval confrontations involved defending or attacking the shipping lanes that were being used to transport strategically important cargo.
Convoy will be available throughout Update 12.4.
What Has Changed?
Update 12.4 delivers the following changes:
- WG have added one more map—you'll be fighting tooth and nail on Haven.
- WG have updated the behavior of bot ships—transport ships will now change their speed to avoid torpedoes instead of changing course.
- WG have improved the battle type interface.
Rules
12.4 Convoys - EU Time [UTC] Ends
Defending and Attacking
Two teams participate in each battle—one is tasked with escorting cargo ships, and the other is tasked with attacking them. Players are randomly distributed between the two teams. You can enter each battle either alone or as part of a division of up to three players.
The defending team needs to escort convoys of cargo ships as they sail along a defined route. The defending team wins if at least one convoy ship reaches her destination point or the entire enemy team is sent back to Port. The mission of the attacking team is to completely destroy either the convoy or its defenders.
All convoys are made up of Liberty-class transport ships. They have little HP and weak armor. On the other hand, they can deploy smoke screens and change speed to avoid enemy torpedoes. In addition, these ships are armed with two main battery guns and twelve secondary battery guns that are capable of firing at approaching opponents. They also have AA defenses to repel air attacks.
Format
